[Arid_gardener] Question from Home-Hort WWW page

[lindasbw@aol.com]

While searching the UA document files, I found somewhat contradictory information on Satsuma plum.  Specifically, some documents indicate that the Satsuma is "sweet" and "Ozark Premier of Santa Rosa can be used as a pollenizer."  However, the Master Gardener Manual indicates that Satsuma is "tart" and "self-fruitful".

I'm looking for a sweet dark fruited plum for growing in Phoenix area. I'm looking to plant only one plum tree, so the tree should be self-fruiting. Is Satsuma a good choice?

Thanks,
Chris
